Say Goodbye to those ESPN Personalities Ya'll Love So Much: Official ESPN Layoffs Thread

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Nope, no defense for it. It's about respect, which to work with someone over a decade you have to have. Unless you didn't, which makes you even more of a bytch for hiding true feelings for over a decade while you sat beside him.

All that looking for hidden messages shyt or "writing on a wall" ain't shyt to a man in line with his conduct & principles. It should've be nothing for you to sit him down and tell him what you want to do, which is what Golic said is all he had to do.

If you read the article Golic himself said they weren't close away from the show. You keep coming at it as a co-worker, I'm talking strictly from how men should handle business and that's how he sees it as well.

If you're making the decision to step away you already know you're affecting his position as well. Have the ability to look him in his eyes and tell him as much, then shake his hand for all the years you sat next to each other. If he doesn't want to do the last part that's on him, but at least you did your part. You didn't give him the opportunity to do that and hid behind ESPN for 12 months who didn't feel the need to tell him either.

Just now seeing this post btw.

It would have been nice if Greeny told him, but he wasn’t under any obligation to do so. You and Golic are making it personal, when it’s just business. Doing it the right way and that type of professionalism doesn’t matter to everyone like that and it obviously didn’t matter to Greeny. He’s still there, while Golic isn’t. It’s fukked up, but it was always obvious that they viewed Greeny as the bigger over Golic.

The most ironic part about it? The Golic family gave Greeny so much shyt for putting Golic out of a job when it was Golic Jr in the end who put an end to his tenure there.

Today, ESPN wants to keep Taylor, but the initial offer is not on the table, according to sources. What she is being offered right now is not known, but it is believed to be in the $2 million-$3 million range.

As much as she does there. ESPN is beyond foul

And that's exactly why their current plan of cutting talent and spreading out the remaining job duties is going to backfire with everyone eventually asking for SAS type bread even if they don't deserve it.

With that being said, she isn't worth SAS type money in spite of how many job titles they give her. The problem that she runs into is that other high profile women (Beadle and Nichols) who left ESPN flopped and eventually had no other choice but to come back. And the ones who didn't come back (Thompson and Andrews) made it mainly because they were able to branch out into other avenues outside of the sports world.

Can Taylor do that as well? Ehhh doubtful as she's rather bland and boring tbh.

All that work for $2 mil. This ain't Lu Dort, ESPN.

2 million for all the shows and work you have to do?

Beadle got $5 million year all all she had to do was Get Up and NBA Countdown. She didn’t even promote or talk sports on her Twitter or Instagram

She made a bad mistake imo, even before the pandemic she wasn’t getting 5 million anywhere else. Now she gonna have to take a slight raise at ESPN or FOX.

And that was before Disney put in the call to ESPN to start reducing salary. No way they’ll give her $5 million when they’re asking talents to take another paycut as it is.

Nah she should push the line.

PTI still safe?

I remember the fall out in real time. Idk if Greeny is actually jewish but that last name is, so anything opportunistic coming from him shouldn't surprise

That said that show sucked dikk for the longest time up until it ended

But all in all, to look that man in his face for a year and know you were blowing the show up while he didn't is super trife

Idk what kind of internal presence ESPN has left but they seem to have tossed all their culture setters out and have devolved into a cable gossip rag. OTL is gone, Sports Reporters gone, does 30 for 30 still exist?

You're watching the slow death of ESPN imo. They're hanging on because live sports is still best viewed on cable, but over the next 10/15 years network infrastructure should be as stable as cable and when/if Amazon or somebody else with a way larger subscriber base than ESPN+ steals NFL/NBA games for Prime that'll be all she wrote.

Show was trash,and I specifically remember Golic being trash for some reason

Almost every ESPN show has adopted the First Take format

First Take (OGs of it)
NFL Live
CFB Live
Highly Questionable (Idk why it’s still on)
Even SportsCenter tbh

She mainly does work for college sports world at ESPN with NBA sprinkled in. I know they had her doing sideline reporting for the NFL, it wasn’t a long term thing. I just find it hilarious how she is asking for SAS type money when Greeny doesn’t even make that amount for what he does

Maria Taylor is boring. If she leaves ESPN they would easily replace her. ESPN is using that Monica McNutt woman alot more.
